Overview: Includes supplementary material: In recent years, geometry has played a lesser role in undergraduate courses than it has ever done. Nevertheless, it still plays a leading role in mathematics at a higher level. Its central role in the history of mathematics has never been disputed. It is important, therefore, to introduce some geometry into university syllabuses. There are several ways of doing this, it can be incorporated into existing courses that are primarily devoted to other topics, it can be taught at a first year level or it can be taught in higher level courses devoted to diff

Overview: Beatmung bedeutet nicht immer Intubation oder Tracheotomie. Oft kann Beatmung auch nichtinvasiv und mit gleicher Effektivität über nasale oder oronasale Masken erfolgen. Sie muß auch nicht automatisch ganztägig durchgeführt werden, sondern ist durchaus für nur einige Stunden pro Tag (intermittierend) möglich. Diese Form der Beatmung wird z.B. eingesetzt, wenn die Atemmuskulatur aufgrund einer Krankheit erschöpft ist ("Insuffizienz der Atempumpe"). Mit der nichtinvasiven, intermittierenden nasalen Maskenbeatmung können zahlreiche Patienten mit chronischer Ateminsuffizienz Unterstützun

Overview: Die EU im Widerspruch zwischen ökologischen Zielen und realer PolitikManche Arbeiten haben eine lange Vorgeschichte. So hatte ich seit 1988 mehrere Ideen fiir eine Dissertation, die jedoch alle kaum realisierbar waren. Meine Themen drehten sich immer um die ökologischen Folgen der europäischen Integration. Ende 1992 fiel dann endlich meine Entscheidung fiir eine Eingrenzung des Forschungsgegenstandes auf die europäische Verkehrs- und Umweltpolitik. Die Suche nach einem theoretischen Bezugsrahmen erwies sich ebenfalls lange als erratisch - zumal sie neben meiner beruflichen Tätigkeit

Overview: My interest in non-Archimedean utility theory and the problems related to it was aroused by discussions which I have had with Professors Werner Leinfellner and Günter Menges. On the occasion of the Second Inter­ national Game Theory Workshop, Berkeley, 1970, which was sponsored by the National Science Foundation, I had the opportunity to report about a result on non-standard utilities. Work on this subject continued when I was a research assistant of Professor Günter Menges at the Uni­ versity of Heidelberg. The present mono graph is essentially a translation of my habilitation thesi
